Correct. I contacted Dan Savage about another issue recently, as he used to be my contact, and I’ve received no response.

Thanks for checking.
This means, as CT said above, that we're actually lucky that the forum is still alive. But could also mean that we could lose this space at any time.
Kinda weird that there's not a single responsable for something that is "officialy" Magic related.

Forums are kind of a weird relic of the old Internet. Everyone uses social media now. Me personally I like the more intimate space, it's less likely a random guy I don't know will come in and call me a barrage of insults for my opinion lol

The complete Paul George trade:

Clippers received:

Paul George

Thunder received:

Shai-Gilgeous Alexander

Danilo Gallinari

2021 FRP (Tre Mann)

2022 FRP (Jalen Williams)

2023 FRP (Cason Wallace)

2024 FRP (Nikola Topic)

2026 FRP (Aday Mara )

2 pick swaps

 

This all happen because of us, thanks to the Ibaka trade. 

I hated that trade when it happen, and even I didn't think it was going to turn out like this.

This franchise is cursed.

I totally agree, is the same for me :) (I also try to avoid social media as much as possible).

But the point here is that the message board is actually still connected to the Magic main site:

 

so someone should be still responsable for it, especially when the server goes down if not for the "stupid" +-1.

Yea so you probably remember in the past the site goes offline (I think once a year) and Soul has been messaging Dan Savage to get it brought back. Presumably has to pay some hosting bill or something lol 

But I think it's the case that they're keeping it going because Soul cares enough to be like "hey we're still using this" otherwise they'd probably just quietly let it die.

Picks 31 and 32 are up for auction apparently. Doubt we do that again after last year though.

Phillip from Locked on Magic said he heard the Magic likes Jack Kayil.

Makes sense since he has connections to both Franz (same German team) and Paolo (same agency). 

Surely we'd need to trade up for him though.

Vecenie updated round 2 mock still has us taking Onyenso too. 

Fwiw he has Jack Kayil going 32 and says (as we know from Shams) Memphis will likely be trading that pick.
